Him and Chris Getz.

Which is fine for a guy who would be a stretch as a 5th starter.

You really want to see him taking steps forward, and it is seemingly like the offense is starting to feature him, instead of the offense being independent of his own skills.

That would be impressive with as little money as they spent there. I still would like to know if the spending practice were Paddy not being able to recruit, or Jerry not letting him recruit 12/13/14 year olds, but hey, everything is fine in Baghdad.

Trading Mena wasn't even the problem with the trade. It was targeting Fletcher, and then refusing to play him for most of the season to see if he could play through whatever his problem was.

Miguel Vargas missed putting up a .900 MiLB OPS for four straight years by 14 points in one season. (.906/.915/.885/1.005)

Plus the bonus of not having any scouts left to help decide who to take on. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh I know. But I do have a morbid curiosity for the fact that they didn't even acknowledge my emails that got me on to this list 3 years ago, but also how much desperation actually exists there now.

A year or two ago? Sure. But today Jerry won't acknowledge fans after literally the worst season in baseball history, I don't really feel the need to acknowledge his organization.

7-0

Considering the narrative seems to be they have fired most scouts, including the whole international staff, seems to be a great time to be trading our two best pieces.

It is also pretty clear that the organization didn't actually prepare them nor expect them to be prepared.

I think we accidentally did

Look, I already suspended one guy for personal attacks. Don't be next.

Well, hopefully a thread about a cable network 2 times zones away was worth the time off.

Our player development everybody!

POTY.

MLB is a legal monopoly

A better question is why would you want to? #traumabonding

So we have a former CSN employee and a current Sox employee posting apparently. This will go well.

Ok, now it makes sense

What the actual f***?

But he IS the GM who has had them on this roster, and hasn't done anything to replace them.
